An H2ight Rave Escaped But for shs
Closing OF An Exit BY Policemen.
81. LOUIS, No, June "A special from
Chihuahua Mexico, ssys that great constsr-
nation prevails in that city on account Of
the panic Wednesday in the cathedral in
which three children and tvo women were
killed and sixty persons injured. That such
a calamity could ocsUr is astounding. as the
cathedral 1s q massive stone structure with
three broad exits snd no chairs or benches
10 impede egress. The building is absolute
y fire proof, built With the view Of answer
ing the purpose Of fertilization In time Of
need. The altar Is Of stone, the images
wooden which support the candles and
the draplng about twenty feet high be-
meath the dome, Is the only infiamabls ma
t5r1al In the building. The IRE was 50 in
Significant that had the inmates not lost
thelr presence Of mind they could all have
made their escape easily. After the candle
th9t set nre 20 the drapsry Of the altar had
rallens the uames were Immediately eHtin-
guished-by the attendants. The smotherinR
IRE produced considerable smoke and vapor,
&C which the inmates became frantic IL
many cases, prOpably ths result of supersti-
ton. The small children and knssling old
women most absorbed in their worship, and
uIsappEehensiVe OF ths pending danger, con
stltuted the unfortunate victims. Some Of
the Witnesses assert that had it moi been for
several policemen closing the doors of one
OF the entrances as soon as they heard the
screams OF the frantic crowd, there would
have been no loss Of life.

CRIMINAL CHARGES
POwderIy and the Executive Board AZ
cused OF Corruption.

POWderIy and the Executive Board Ae-
cused OF Corruption.
CHICAGO, June "A morning paper pub
fishes the following. At last nights meet
ing Of district assembly No. p g secret cir-
cular from Philadelphia was read officially
notifying the Chicago Knights Of Labor Of
the expulsion Of district Assembly Eo.226, and
waning them against receiving any travel
ing or transfer cards from that assembly.
The district was not expelled, such Ection
being unconstitutional. No action was tax
en- and the document vas very coldly re-
esiVed. Another and extremely interesting
circular is being received by the secretaries
OF all the local assemblies In this city and all
over the United States. Ib smGnatea
from district assembly No. 126, and is an
appeal for assistance and revenge. After
reviewing the facts as above stated from
th .ir standpoint, il charges Grand Master
Workman POWderly and the general e1e0u-
tive board with criminal inCompebsncy, and
hints boldly at corruption. Six specific ViO-
lations Of the constitution are alleged.
BSEry Is said 10 have been In oCllusiOn with
the manufacturers, and his report IS charac-
tsrized as false IN every respect. He acted
directly against the men, without
holding any consultation with them,
they say, and declared the strike OF
upon the false pretsIt that the
strike was against one man who vas a mem
Der OF the order. In other words, he dslib-
erately sold them out, they allegs and was
sustained in his action by the general eXeCu-
tive board Their circular concludes with
an appeal to all assemblies to arise and de-
pose POwderly, and the corrupt and lnsfic-
lent gang with whom he has surrounded
himself. From every indication the appeal
will be met vito a hearty support from many
Chicago local assemblies. The antagOnism
TO POWderly is not confined to socialists, and
in this fight socialism is not involved
in the dispute. 1t is an insEiUahle
struggle between the mixed assemble and
the trades unions. District 49 repre-
sents the former, and has formed an al
lance with POWderly, one Of the results Of
which it is claimed was to increase the mas
ter WOrkman's salary to 5000. With the
Aontauk and the John Morrison districts in
the east united in opposition with the Peci-
nc coast assemblies, the Bennett G. Haskell
and Denver radicals, and both the great
Chicago districts split on account Of R oman
Catholicism, a relentless war by the pow
erful trades unions, with the aVOFed enmity
OF the socialists, and decided GOODNESS on
the part OF the nti-prOhibitionists, Mr.
POWderly's lot Is not happy one.

luton offered by an Ohio man was adopted

Two Fisnds In Human Shape Lynshed Tor
Horrible Crime.
BOSTON, IND, June lat 10 O'Clock
Sunday morning Walter and Charles Davis,
brothers, visited the Flanagan residence, in
Perry county, and told the two Flanagan
brothers that some stray stock was breaking
into the farm a mile away from the house.
The Flanagan boys started out to see about
the supposed stray stock. While they were
gone the Davis brothers carried the 14-year-
old sister Of the Flanagan boys to the
neighboring wood. A handkerchief was
placed over her mouth. and the girl was
tied to a tree while her person was violated.
After this outrage she was beaten with
stick Of wood and left for dead. When her
two brothers returned home, search was
made for the missing sister. An all night
hunt failed to discover her, but on Monday
morning the neighbOrs found the girl al
most dead, tied 70 q tree IN the woods.
The Davis boys were found IN the woods
near the suffering girl Monday morning.
One account states that both of them were
taken to a sspling near by and lynched, az
ter they had confessed the deed. Another
states that Walter Davis escaped, but that
lust after dark his brother Charley was
found concealed under house and was
dragged out by an Infatuated mob. He was
terrified and quaking with fear. he was Sc
curely strapped to q horse and driven back
to the spot where he had raVished the girl.
He begged for mercy but his cries were IN
needed. He was taken from the horse, his
hands tied behind him and was given two
minutes in which to pray. He aVailed him
self of the time allowed, and at the sLpIra-
ton Of IL a stout sapling was bent down,
short rope tied to the top with the other end
about Davis neck. Six men held down the
tree, and when it was released it new back
into position and Davis was jerked twenty
feet into the air. The force threw him over
the tree, and as the rope brought him up
short on the other side his neck was broken.
The body was riddled with bullets by the
crowd and was allowed to hang there until
yesterday morning, when it was cut down
by his father and given burial.

INDIGNANT INDIANS.

A Band Of ChOctaws Attack a Party Of
Whites and Half-Breeds In the Indian
Territory.
CHICAGO, III, June "a special from
Little Rock, AK, says: Reports from the
ChoctaW nation are to the effect that the
trouble between the full bIoods and the half
breeds is growing in intensity, and has IN
many cases terminated IN bIoodshed. The
governor Of the nation and local authori-
ties are doing all in their power to preserve
peace and protect lives and property. but
the men who are at the bottom Of the trOu-
BILE are desperadees, many Of whom have a
price on their heads; hence a peaceful set
Element seems impossible. RumOrs Of muir
dsrs and deeds Of laWlessnsss ny thick and
fast, while many families continue to
leave the country. There is an i'll sup
pressed bitterness against the whites who
have iatsrmarried with the OhOctaW WOm-
en-, and thus acquired rights in the nation,
and these ''squaW men," as they are termed,
are objects Of persecution. Many Of the
full blOods urge the expulsion Of ever white
man in the ChOctaW territory, giving as a
reason that they are dangerous in stirri q g
up strife between the fall bloods and the
half breeds, and Ers constantly encrOaoh-
ing on the Indians rights. A party IF
whites and half-bresds were attacked Mon
day on Buffalo creek by q baud Of full
blOOds- In the melee several were wounded
on either side, two fatally. The attacklng
party retrsated.

Protest that there Was No Protest.

WICHTA, KAN, June 4.-As number o.
newspapers throughout the country have
circulated untrue reports concerning the
real estate market here, together
with the assertion thai various
large amounts Of real estate paper
have gone to protest at the banks, the board
of trade, after thorough investigation, de-
sires to officially refute any and all such
statements. The banks all report not
q single protest on real estate
than a year ago. The weekly bank clear
anCes show steady increases during the
past i've or six weeks. which are greatly in
excess OF the corresponding peFlOda
OF last year. Money is much
more plentiful and easier than a year ago.
The court records show that no foreclosure
proceedings are being instituted, and the
table for the past year was only six for the
whole of SedgWick county, and they were
not on city property.
